While a bit lighter and less complex than the few Barolo/Barbaresco I've had, this wine provides a lot for the money.
The nose starts out as a beguiling sweet cherry and tar blast, which fades into dried flowers and smoke after a while in the glass. Light to Middle-weight body, but fully flavored with red cherries and deep dark smokey chocolate.
Bright acidity, lots of fine-grained tannin. The tannin and acid structure makes me think it will age a while longer, but I'm not sure how flavors will hold up. The way it's drinking now though, I'm not planning on finding out with my other bottle!
